Impala built-in "effective_user()" is not able to retrieve delegated user in HUE

[#1]

Hi All,

I am using HUE to run impala query.

The following were the observations with the effective_user built-in-

Logged in name: user1

Instance name: master.localdomain

Domain name: EXAMPLE.COM

 1) Kerberos enabled & Sentry enabled (with hive.server2.enable.impersonation, hive.server2.enable.doAs set to false)

  select effective_user();

  - It returns "user1/master.localdomain@EXAMPLE.COM" as output which is an expected result.

 2) Kerberos enabled & Sentry disabled (with hive.server2.enable.impersonation, hive.server2.enable.doAs set to false)

 select effective_user();

  - It returns "hue/master.localdomain@EXAMPLE.COM" as output which is NOT an expected result.

Please let me know is it right behavior?

Thanks

I would recommend to post this question to the Impala forum:
